[Logicaldoc-devel] Cannot get non-trunk sources of LogicalDOC to build

[D. M. S. <ms...@co...>]

Following the developer's guide, I can get the trunk of LogicalDOC to 
build. However, I cannot get Maven to build the source of either 4.5.2 
or 4.6.1.

Here is what I think are the relevant errors (from the 4.5.2 build):

Maven version: 2.0.9

Project ID: com.logicaldoc:logicaldoc:pom:4.5.2

Reason: Cannot find parent: com.logicaldoc:logicaldoc-parent-pom for 
project: com.logicaldoc:logicaldoc:pom:4.5.2 for project 
com.logicaldoc:logicaldoc:pom:4.5.2

I am not familiar with Maven myself (I've always worked with Ant), but 
after reading for a bit I think the problem may be this "version 7" of 
the parent pom is not in the LogicalDOC repository? I changed the "7" to 
a "15" (the version in the pom.xml of the trunk) and it gets further; it 
seems to find the parent pom in the repository but then fails with this 
error:

Validation Messages:
    [0]  'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for quartz:quartz

I'm assuming that's related to differences in the 4.5.2 and trunk 
versions of the codebase (maybe Quartz was added in a later version?).

So, the big question is: If I download a .zip of the LogicalDOC source 
from SourceForge, how do I get it to build? Is there something that 
needs to be added to your Maven repository (those parent version 
numbers?), or am I doing something wrong?
